Wow, I'm glad I found your blog. What a beautiful yet real account of child birth. I can't stand the fear some people have tried to instil on me about my inevitable labour, but equally can't stand it when people sugar coat their experience. I don't want to feel like it's beyond my capability, but I also don't want to feel like there is something wrong with me when the experience isn't as pain free and easy as some people have made out.
I just want to know that the pain will be worth it. And judging by that beautiful picture I'd say it definitely will be!
